The Colorado Road.

Several of the officials of the New
Colorado road were in the city yes
terday quietly looking over the
ground with a view to finding the best
location for a depot and connections.
They could not say anything definite
as to the precise place that would be
chosen, but so far as can be ascertain.
ed the chances are that the road will
cross near the university and proposed
state capital site and run thence near.
ly west to Kansas City. This point
it is claimed possesses about the right
grade and besides affords ample room
for the location of a depot, shops and
round house in addition to which in
exhaustable supplies of water are
easily obtainable at few feet under
ground and it is believed the supply
can be more cheaply secured than
even from the water works.

A Sad Case.

At the station house, during the
past three days, has been confined a
little midget of a waif, who claims to
be ten years old, but looks to be
about six. He gives his name as
Fred Gilday, and says he came to this
place from st. Joseph, Mo-, in search
of an uncle whom he states lives in
the west part of the city and hauls
wood. He does not know his uncle's
name, and when first locked up for
late hours he was disposed to be sui
len. He has got over that, hewever,
and spends great deal of his time
shedding tears. To a reporter yes
terday, he said: "My name is Fred.
Gilday, came from St. Joe, where |
have been living with my aunt
Mrs. Bingham, who is a wash woman.
She could keep me no longer and 1
came to Sedalia to find my uncle. My
mothers name was Maggie Glday.
SIZE died over year ago. She left
my pa in Omaha where he was a
painter. She left him because he got
drunk and beat us, and we went to
St. Joseph about two years ago. My
grandma was sick in Sedalia and ma
came here and took her to st. Joseph
where she die1 and then ma died.
We staid in Sedalia about week at
my uncles, but 1 have forgot his
name. l am willing to work if /
could get chance" The little fel-
low seems to be bright and intelligent,
but is ragged and dirty. If this
meets the eye of his uncle he ought
to come and get him if he can care
for him. If not some one ought to
have compassion ON the poor little
Wait, and give him a home. Bread
cast on the waters will return saith
the Lord.

The Salvation Army has estab-

ming to create a revolution in favor of
the cross. That is right boys, hold
the Fort, it is good, substantial and
true, and worthy of a heavy garrison
from the Lords army. In referring to
the matter last Sunday Rev. j. f.
Brandt preached a sermon at the
Methodist church, on "The Methods
of the Salvation Army" He said
that any innovation upon old time
customs had always met with oppOsi-
tions, and cited as instances the APP
pOintment If the seventy elders by
the Lord to assist Moses in the gov
eminent of His people which caused
Joshua to become jealous and feel
that he was terribly outraged; Luz
theirs great reformation Wesley's
teachings; The Woman's Crusade
against intemperance; the anti
slavery movement, and the Sal
walton army, all of which had
been objected to. The latter
he classed as the strongest inno-
walton of them all. He said it was
an organization headed by General
Booth, a Methodist preacher, who left
the church because he and a few kim
dred spirits did not find it to be what
they thought it was. With the beat
ing of drums and tamborines he be-
gan to summon the people of London
together, and The novelty of the thing
attracted attention. Some say it will
not do; that it is all out of order;
that The churches are sufficient for
such work nevertheless we have them
with us, and if they can be the means
of saving souls to Christ he would say
God bless them in their efforts. If
the Salvation Army could go into the
streets and reach a class of people
that could not be reached by the reg
.ular churches he would say, God help
them In their work. He said he at
tended one of their meetings the other
night and aside from the horn, tam
BORNE and waving of handker-
chiefs the meeting was not any
noisier than the one he was converted
al. Some of his Congregation had
been converted at noisy csmp-meet-
ings and had staid converted ever
since. The Salvation Army, in their
peculiar methods, had been doing q
great work. He did not expect to
introduce the methods of the Saliva
ton Army into his church because he
did not want to steal their thunder.
He was glad that the Army had pitch
ed its tents in Fort Scott, for it had
knockei some of the nonsense out of
the heads of some of the old fogies.
He would be for letting them have
their own way let them sing and
shout. He wozld not put an obsta-
Gle in their way. They had a hard
time in this world with adversely,
trials and poverty, and if they wanted
to keep in the middle of the path"
the gospel path, he would
do all he could to encourage them.

The Church of the Future.

Rev. Herford Brooke In Boston Herald.
"What the church of the future rs
to be-" l may be asked; "What do
you mean by the church of the past ?"
1t is to look back at the great church
before the break up of the reforma-
ton, the distinguished and great
catholicism of the past. One of the
advantages of that church was its aim,
was to be the. only kingdom of God,
the universal institution of religion.
From end to end the same masses
were recited, the same creeds taught
and the same discipline enforced. The
old church was for union and not in
dividuality. 1t permitted you to think
as you liked, but you couldn't think
aloud. But let a man break from
the creeds of the church and his
life was made burden for him. The
church settled the creed and did the
worship, In fact transact the whole
business of salvation. The political
power and other characteristics of the
old church were treated at consider
able length by the speaker. Regard
ing the church of the future air.
Brooke said: THE church of the
future must emphasize individuality /;
the days of creeds have passed by;
the days of priestcraft for salvation
have passed by, and the day is past
for the thought that beliefin Christs
merits is between man and God. Do
not smother individualism, but deye.
lop it. Make one great republic of
God, and that our present dividing
lines fade in the Imagination. Be
one great church with a unity of
spirit and religion and life. The
church of the past insisted on a rigid
discipline, and the church of the pre-
sent is haunted by the idea that dis
cipline must be brought on the people.
But / believe that the idea of church
discipline must 60. The church of
the future has got to try to carry the
spirit of brotherly love into the world
and society, but against the ambition
of an eager world it seems almost an
impossibility. There must be humili-
ty in filling high places, and a spirit
of helpfulness for the poor; it must
possess the whole world for all time
and not for an hour each Sunday;
it must be the helper of mems future,
the companion of all his days"

The Stock Trade.

Eyes" said a prominent stock deal
er yesterday, There is very lively
trade just now in horses and mules es-
pecially the latter, prices are fair, and
the supply good"
"W here do you find the best mark
ct for your mules p
eat present the west seems to be
making the greatest demand, which is
something unusual, until recently the
east has absorbed most of the choice
animals, but there seems now
to be strong tendency to turn the
bulk of the trade towards the Pacific
slope"
"How do you account for that?"
Il do not know except for the rea-
son that the western slope is rapidly
filling up with immigrants the mines
are being developed and the absence
of railroads tends to make teaming
necessary"
"You say the horse trade is also good,
what direction does this trade
take.
Nearly altogether east roadsters,
draught horses and carriage teams
are the best stock, though the demand
for saddle animals has lately increased
especially from the south"
How do you find the SUPPLY"
Cup to the present we have found
it sufficient for the demand. Sedalia,
as you know, is the centre of one of
the finest horse and mule producing
countries in the world. The Sedalia
brand on a car load of either class of
these animals insures a quick sale. as
we Gull our stock and send none but
the best, owing to their plentiful
ness"
"How does the present seasons sales
average with the past?"
"Well, the season is but fairly be-
gun, though during the present winter
We have had the best trade I have
ever known out of season, and the
indications are that this springs
trade will exceed anything in the
past and will include all grades
of animals. The heavy railroad
contracts are making very large de-
mand for ordinary stock. And |
have it from very good authority that
the eastern demand for extra stock for
expectation will be very heavy, owing
to the extensive war preparations go
ing on pretty much all over Europe.
/ received letter from a prominent
eastern dealer Yesterday in which he
states that, foreign contractors in
New York have told him that they
have orders for several hundred
thousand head of animals of the

port the coming summer.

Salvation Spreads.

One of the grandest meetings ever
held in the Sedalia Salvation Army
barracks was that Of last night, and
the earnestness, eloquence and zeal of
the many speakers and exhorters
moved even the hardest of the au-
dience. Eight new converts were
made, and the speeches of some of
them amazed those who have known
them for years.
Day after day the good work of the
Salvation Army grows aPace, and day
after day are its members entwining
themselves about the hearts of the
best people of Sedalia to
a degree that makes it cafe
to predict that by the time
the blue birds nest again, Sal
walton barracks will be as indispensi-
BILE an adjunct to Sedalia's needs and
desires, as church or school house.
God works in his own mysterious way
and as the BAzoo predicted in the
outset, no man can take up the cause
of Christ in sincerity and earnestness
without receiving the devine blessing
and the success his efforts merit. God
bless the Salvation Army.
sToRMING LAMoNTE.
Yesterday, Happy Adam celebrated
his promotion to a captaincy by head
ing detachment of his brave army
and making raid on the little
town OF Lamonte. Informa-
ton received from there last
night states that the Lamonters re-
ceived them with the generous, whole
souled heartiness aud hospitality for
which the town is noted, all the stores
and even the saloons closed up and
everybody went to see the grand drill
of the Lords hosts. "Happy Adam"
led with his usual zeal and gallantry
and was ably seconded by his little
band. The impression created
was favorable and marked
and the BAzoo's correspondent pre-
diets that the army will not only
'hold the fort" but soon capture a
large force of recruits. Hallelujah.

Minnesota For High License.

st. Paul, Feb. 3.-The hall of the house
Of representatives was crowded this after
noon by the friends and opponents Of the
Prosser high license bill, which had al
ready passed the senate. The bill fixes
the license in cities of 10000 or more peo-
pie, at 81 900, and in a small place at $500.
A motion to amend by making the higher
license $500 instead of $1,000
failed, yeas, q, nays, A.
The bill was finally passed by an emphatic
majority and will doubtless become Law.
The bill permits municipal authorities to
make the license as much In excess of the
above as they may see fit and does not eff
feet the local option provisions previously
passed.
